Biography
Marco Lacasa was born in New York City, New York in 1982 to a family of Puerto Rican-Americans. In 2008, he was hired by Tom Goldberg of the Goldberg, Ligner, and Shyster law firm to take incriminating photographs of Deputy NYPD Commissioner Francis McReary in order to blackmail him and end his career. Lacasa took pictures of McReary spending time with prostitutes, and Lacasa informed McReary that he would release the photos unless McReary met him and paid him money in exchange for the photographs' confidentiality; this would be seen as an admission of guilt by McReary, and it would ruin his career either way. Lacasa arranged to meet with McReary at the East River viewpoint in Yorkville, Manhattan one day in the spring of 2008, and McReary instead sent Niko Bellic to the meeting. Bellic called Lacasa on his cell phone, locating him after hearing his voice among a crowd of tourists. After hanging up with Lacasa, Bellic walked towards him and shot him in the back of the head as Lacasa began to walk away. Bellic stole the photographs from Lacasa before giving the photos to McReary.
